Put me in the category of loving my neph and his entire staff  :thumbup;.  My only complaint is the amount of time I wait to see him.  But that's the way it is with most all physicians.  I worked for physicians for many years and they were all slow with getting to the office to start the day off right.  It pissed me off as an employee and it pisses me off as a patient.  At least with my neph I can hear him going from room to room and making his dictations in the interim, but man I wish just once he would see me within 15 minutes of my appt time!  That would be great!   :clap;

My first neph i had i loved but hated the staff, they were rude and they made you feel little and worthless and they always made you feel that everytime you asked them a question you were getting on their last nerve.   Told the neph about it and the next time i went in, the queen of the office was no longer there, i heard other patients were complaining about her also,  let me tell you, straightened the rest of them out though ;)   Now i have a new neph and so far, so good, i would love to give them all something for Christmas  :santahat;

I volunteer to "taste test" the Cinnamon Rolls!

Of course, to be a valid test, you need more than one tester.  Pick me!  Choose me!!   Here I am!!!

I love my neph! I had an appointment on Halloween, which my husband went to with me. I was in costume, so the doc showed us his Conehead mask. My husband wants to send him some "Pleasure Rings" next time I go, but I told him I refuse to deliver them!!! Some cinnamon buns might be ok, though.

Not from this house, for sure!
(the nephs, that is)
My husband does not care for them,
the only reason we have them is because
the dialysis unit he uses is 10 mins. away from
the house, and to change Drs would mean going
to the next county for treatments.
Besides, our insurance (and our bank acct) has already
given them enough "gifts"

I really have  a taste for cinnamon rolls -  :santahat; :santahat;

I recently sent a gift to the staff at the acute care hospital my husband was in. It was an edible fruit arrangement -- They really enjoyed it and I received my letters of thanks.  I think anyone - including health care workers, doctors, staff would enjoy your cinnamon rolls. I know I would. :thumbup;
